I am a photographer from East Hertfordshire/Essex/London. I started this blog to share some of my photography ideas and thinking. This blog is a mixture of my photography, thinking behind some photo shoots and some equipment reviews. The reviews are just my user experience and nothing more. My passion is portraits, editorial and fashion photography.

It has been a while since I posted due to work and personal commitments. Hopefully I will be posting more. So here goes...

I have always been a colour shooter. I just love bold colours, but recently I started experimenting with black and white. Some images are close to mono, more like 80% desaturated. That look just appeal to me. This goes hand in hand with a style of retouching I am using more and more of. That is under exposing the image and then dodge and burn in Photoshop.

It is a technique I started to use about 18 months ago. Now It is used with mono or desaturated look. These images of the amazing Charlotte Daintelle were shot with this style of editing right from the start. I make sure the image is slightly under exposed to make this style of editing easier. When ever I shoot, I always have a mood board created. Without one, it is easy to drift off in different directions and make sure I stay focus on the goal.

It is a style I am still developing and will carry on refining. There are more photo shoots planned and I will be sharing more with you soon.
